The result of the election in Alexandria
Yesterday was not unexpected here, as
MIR. Lewis Mckenzie, Mahone's manager
in that city, when here day or two before,
to buy transportation tickets for such ne
groes of this city as would 60 there to vote,
told q gentleman the Malone candidate
there would be elected By three hundred
majority.
Il is understood to day that the President
has determined to appoint Mr.. Lowering,
who was defeated for Governor OF Massa.
chusetts yesterday, U. s. Marshal for that
State when the term of General Banks, the
present occupant of that Office, shall expire.
But that he will not remove General Banks
before the expiration of his term, though
the Generals accounts are in utter confu'
sion.
Among the strangers in the city to day is
ex-Congressman Libby of Virginia. he
saws the vote polled in his county was small,
neither democrats nor republicans apparent
~ taking any interest in the result. Mr.
James Devine, from Loudoun county, says
the same apathetic condition prevailed there.
Ex. Congressman Beall of We5tmoreand, VINO
arrived this morning, says the democrats
made considerable gains in some OF the pre-
cincts OF his county, but he does not know
whether they were sufficient to defeat Mayo,
the Mshone candidate for the Legislature;
The fall races were resumed here to-day
with fair attendance.
A rumor was in circulation here Tor q
short time to-day to the effect that the jail
in which the condemned anarchists are con-
fined liz Chicago had been blown up this
morning, but it was coon known that there
was no truth in it,
Great hilality prevails at the WHITE
House to day, as it is considered there tha'
the result of yesterdays elections IN New
York and Virginia was all that is required
| to secure the Presidents denomination.
Great lolarity, on the contrary, prevails at
| republican headquarters, as the result re-
| fsrred 10 is considered there a5 qu!etu5 10
the nomination of both Blaine and Sherman,
az the former cannot carry New York, nor
the latter any Southern state.
A Northern republican here to-day, who
was at the Malone headquarters in Rich
mona yesterday, in talking to the GAZETTE's
correspondent this morning, said he was not
ia the least surprised now that all the repu
table people in Virginia voted the demo
cratic ticket, as the white men he saw al
those headquarters looked like penitentiary
convic;s, aud the negroes there were so OF
fensive that he had to hug en- open window
All the democrats here, but especially
those from that State, are delighted that
Virginia is secured in the democratic col
umn. They were dubious about her fate
prior to the election, and their cissipated
anxiety adds to their presentjo They all
with one accord, say that Mr.. Barbour no
only deserves the next U. S. Senatorshil
| from his State, but that it would beunexam
pied ingratitude if the people there do moi
see to it that that honor shall be conferred
upon him. But none of them expects tha
be will have any opposition.
